These days, the relationship between Xie Yun and Li PA and Li Ma is heating up.
Every day when Li Mu came home from the company, he would listen to Li Ma's praise of Xie Yun and Zhao Ziqiu.
Xie Yun has her way of getting along with her, so Li Ma soon becomes her good friend. They often make an appointment to do something together, drink afternoon tea, eat small tea, and even bask in the sun on the terrace. While Xie Yun teaches Li Ma the delicacy of Jiangnan women's life, at the same time, she can avoid misunderstanding Li Ma's sense of superiority. In a word, she has that The ability to make Li Ma feel comfortable as a friend.
But for Xie Yun, Li Ma's forthright character also makes her like it very much. In her social circle, there are many people with countless faces, and few people are willing to meet her with real faces. Moreover, she quickly summed up Li Ma's character: kind, forthright, not arrogant, but also considerate of others. It's really a lucky thing to have such a friend It's about.
With such contact and understanding, Xie Yun would like her daughter and Li Mu to get a good result. In that case, not only her husband has the ability, but also her father-in-law and mother-in-law are one of the best.
Zhao Ziqiu didn't go to class in this period of time. He spent almost all his time in Ziyun mountain villa, so he would come to visit with his mother every day, or Li Ma would visit by herself. It's said that Li Ma opened a hot pot at home at lunch time. Zhao Ziqiu has been helping to prepare food materials and won Li Ma's praise.
Li Ma's original words are: Ziqiu, like her mother, does things in a leisurely but quick way. The most important thing is that the little girl is more beautiful than her mother. She is very clever.
Li Mu can't help sighing at his mother's growing love for Zhao Ziqiu. It may not be long before his mother says to him that she hopes to have a daughter-in-law like Zhao Ziqiu in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly felt cold on his back.
Zhao Ziqiu naturally didn't have much thought. Although her academic performance was very good, her life experience was insufficient, which was a standard silly white sweet. But Xie Yun was not the same way with her. Among the female elders Li Mu met, Xie Yun should be the most intelligent one. Jane Zhi was the copy of Huang Rong in Jin Yong's novel. She suddenly decided to come to Yanjing and follow herself every day I'm afraid that there are some purposes in it?
However, Li Mu was also very clear in his mind that he could not intervene in this matter, and there was no need to intervene.
This day class returns home, Li Mu is sitting on the sofa of the living room on the first floor, holding a laptop to see some information of Baidu, and preparing for a new round of negotiation with Baidu tomorrow morning
Li Mu shook his head: "no, what's the matter?"
Li Mu has been busy with his work recently. Zhao Ziqiu has always been very sensible and seldom bothers him when he is working.
Li Ma said, "I'll go to your aunt Xie's place to have afternoon tea with her this afternoon. She said Ziqiu's father will come here these two days. Do you want to have a meal together?"
Li Mu was embarrassed and asked her, "did aunt Xie tell you that?"
"Well." Li Ma nodded and said, "I think aunt Xie is a very good person. She is a friend to make. To be honest, she is well-known and can get a lot of inspiration from chatting with her. If her father comes here, she can communicate with your father more. My life with your father is to become a monk halfway. They have more than ten or twenty years of experience in business and experience with others It must be right to learn more. "
Li Mu said in a hurry, "OK, you can come and invite their family to our house for dinner. If you need, I'll ask Ziwei to help you."
Li Ma said, "Ziwei still calls me today. I want her to come home for dinner tomorrow evening."
"Well, I'll bring her back directly after I finish my business tomorrow." Li Mu nods. Li Ma likes Li Ziwei. She usually cares about her and doesn't say anything, but also hurts her from the bottom of her heart.
Li Ma hesitated for a moment, and hesitated to say, "well, son, can I talk to you about something?"
Li Mu nodded, "you can tell me what you want to decide. What else can we discuss?"
Li Ma said solemnly, "this matter must be discussed with you. If you promise, mom will do it. If you don't promise, mom won't do it."
Li Mu hurriedly said, "well, as long as you don't make up your mind for me, I have no problem..."
Li Ma said, "I want to be Ziwei's daughter. Do you think it's ok?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Li Ma was not joking, he nodded and said, "of course, since you like her so much, it's human nature to recognize her as a daughter. Besides, you always regret that you don't have a daughter."
Li Ma nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "this matter can only be agreed by Ziwei. If she doesn't, she doesn't demand it. But if she does, your father and I won't treat her badly in the future. If she has a lover and talks about marriage in the future, your father and I have to make some dowries for her."
Li Mu said, "Mom, as long as you like it, I have no opinion. Even if you adopt a baby girl to be my sister now, I'm also in favor of it."To some extent, Li Mu can understand the parents' desire for the company of their children and their grandchildren around their knees. The older they are, the stronger they may expect in this regard. Although Li Ziwei is only his assistant, it's hard for her mother to really like her, and Li Ziwei herself is a girl who knows a lot. The work of an assistant may change in the future. If one day Li Ziwei resigns, or Put her in other positions by herself, her chances of contact with her mother may also be greatly reduced. At that time, her mother may feel more lost.
If Li Ziwei agrees to be her mother's daughter, in the future, the two will be able to communicate and interact with each other more smoothly outside the work, and she will be very happy if she wants to come. Why not? If Li Ziwei can really make her mother have greater harvest and comfort in the future at the level of family affection, then she will naturally thank her and give her enough return at the right time.
……
In the morning of the next day, Li Mu rushed to Muye technology. Today, he made an appointment with Robin at 9 a.m., which is of great importance. Robin paid special attention to it, and Li Mu didn't neglect it at all.
When she arrived at the company at 8:30, Li Ziwei had been there for half an hour. After meeting with Li Mu, she immediately gave a brief account of today's arrangement to Li Mu, and then told Li Mu: "Baidu said that they temporarily added three members of the negotiation team, the other side is the president, assistant and translator of VC Defarge's Asia region in Silicon Valley. They just had a while ago From the first two VC investors in Baidu bought most of Baidu's shares, and then made a follow-up investment in Baidu, and now the shareholding ratio in Baidu has exceeded 20%. "
Li Mu asked curiously, "what is de Fengjie? Not very clear. "
"De Fengjie is a medium-sized VC in Silicon Valley and currently manages about $1 billion of investment funds around the world," said Li
Li Mu frowned: "the total fund is only one billion dollars......"
Li Ziwei chuckled and said: "it's impossible to compare with top VC like Sequoia, Softbank and Morgan, but they still pay attention to the negotiation between Baidu and us because they hold more shares in Baidu."
“OK。” Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "it seems that Robin's life is not easy now. Otherwise, it's impossible for the capital side to interfere in the company's operation."
"Yes." Li Ziwei said: "I have done some research privately, and now the capital market is not very optimistic about Baidu's prospects."
Li Mu said: "it's our good opportunity that others don't like it. What Baidu lacks now is not the recognition of the capital market, but the flow and time."
Without any accident, Google will still withdraw from the Chinese market in the future. Baidu will still be the only one. Moreover, Tengxun has disappeared now. 360 has not come out yet. In the next few years, it will certainly give Baidu a good window of development. By then, the search engine market with a population of more than one billion will almost flow into his family's pocket. By then, the market value will be self-contained However, it will be greatly improved. If in this process, I don't make enemies with him, and send him traffic, Baidu's take-off is just around the corner.
Li Ziwei asked Li Mu, "President Li, the office has made tea for you. Would you like to go to the office or sit here for a while?"
Li Mu said, "go to the office, and you can come."
Back in the office, a cup of fragrant hot tea has been placed on the desk. Li Mu sits down in his swivel chair and asks Li Ziwei to sit opposite. After a few sips of tea, he says to her, "I'm afraid we'll talk about the afternoon with Baidu today. You'll arrange lunch at noon, and then if there's nothing to do after the afternoon, come home and have a meal with me, my mother says I miss you. "
Li Ziwei first said, "I've arranged lunch. It's the Dadong Roast Duck opposite us."
Then he said, "I have nothing to do at night. If it's convenient for Aunt Li, I have no problem."
Li Mu nodded and said, "say a word to the restaurant for lunch, cancel it, then find a clean fast food restaurant, order a working meal, and fight a consumption war with them today to get it done once, so we have to give them a little sense of oppression."
Li Ziwei nodded quickly and said, "OK, I'll arrange it now."
……
At 8:50, led by Robin, Baidu's 11 member negotiation team arrived at Muye technology.
Li Mu seldom saw a business negotiation with 11 people on one side. He was so shocked by the battle that when he shook hands with Robin, he couldn't help but tease him: "Robin, are you going to play football with Makino technology?"
Robin was also embarrassed. He was originally from eight people. I didn't expect that de Fengjie would follow suit. He had a strong attitude. Although he took the initiative in principle, he couldn't hold back the other party from his momentum, so he could only agree with him in humiliation.
this feeling is very bad. Capital shouldn't have been involved in the normal operation of the company, as if you were from someone else I borrowed money from you, and others shouldn't interfere with how you spend the same.
But the market is such a routine, who has the right to speak is the boss, some companies play in the middle and late period, the founders are kicked away by the capital as a ball.With a strong smile, Robin introduced a white middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters to Li Mu, and said, "Mr. Li, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Jimmy Page, the president of Dfj Asia."
Jimmy Page immediately reached out to Li Mu and said piously, "Mr. Li, it's a great honor to meet you."
Li Mu nodded, shook hands with him slightly with a smile on his face, then spoke an English sentence, which made Jimmy choke.
Li Mu said, "it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. Jimmy will listen later. Speak less."
